While gear outfitters like REI and Huckberry may first come to mind when shopping for everyday carry essentials, Amazon is the place to look for high-quality but affordable pocket knives. Lately, the marketplace has been filled with incredible discounts on models from Gerber, Victorinox, Smith & Wesson, and more, but there's one special knife from Kershaw that might be the best-looking of the bunch, and it just had its price cut in half.
The Kershaw Leek Pocket Knife is on sale for $50—a 50% discount on its normal price of $100. This slim, compact folding blade is a sure bet for both quality and style: Hundreds are sold on Amazon every month, and it has earned over 1,000 five-star ratings from shoppers who call it "sturdy and stylish" and note that it "feels good in the hand." This knife is on sale in Kershaw's BlackWash color—one of the brand's most intricate-looking finishes—and right now, Amazon has the best price available.

This Kershaw knife is made in the US and features a 3-inch, drop-point plain-edge blade. The blade is crafted from Sandvik 14C28N stainless steel, which gives it superior edge retention and also makes it easy to resharpen. It wears a black oxide coating for sleek looks and added scratch resistance. The blade is paired with a tough stainless steel handle that’s also coated in BlackWash, and the handle features a reversible pocket clip, so you can carry the knife on either side, tip up or tip down. The Leek is equipped with Kershaw’s SpeedSafe design, so you can safely open the blade with one hand, and the frame lock and tip lock keep the blade secure and in place whether it’s opened or closed. Like any good pocket knife, it’s also super portable: It measures just 4 inches long when closed, and weighs a paltry 3 ounces.
Amazon reviewers have heaped praise on the Leek in BlackWash, highlighting its sturdy build and excellent functionality. “For a daily carry, nothing compares to this little Kershaw,” one shopper said. “It's simply the best pocket knife I've ever handled.”

“It is a thin, no-BS efficient cutting tool,” said another shopper, who added that it’s “easy as hell to sharpen and effective at cutting.”
A quality blade like the Kershaw Leek will last for years to come, and at half off, it’s an especially worthy investment. But don’t wait around on this one: These knives are selling fast, and a deep discount like this likely won’t last much longer.
